So my Nitro has just under 9000 miles on the clock. Just today, I noticed my brakes squeaking. They emit a high pitched squeal when braking from about 15 mph - 0 mph. Anyone have this same problem?
Squeaky Brakes Already???

It seems like all the time. I drove about 10 miles and even after several miles, it was still doing it.
Are you hard on your brakes? I have put on 11K on mine since I got her and no squeal. I also don't race up to a light and slam on the brakes or ride them constantly either. Not trying to bag on you or pick on your driving skills but it is something to consider.

No I'm pretty sure I'm alrite on the brakes. Dont really over use them and I dont stop very hard. Went out tonite. It seems like it only happens when coming from 5 mph to a stop. Not 15 like I said earlier.Are you hard on your brakes? I have put on 11K on mine since I got her and no squeal. I also don't race up to a light and slam on the brakes or ride them constantly either.

You could try the "bed in" procedure, it will usually get
rid of squeaking too.

Metallic brake pads that are used in the Nitro for long life make a lot more noise than ceramic pads. When my pads need replacing, I'll be going with ceramic (hopefully I can find ceramic rear pads by then).
I have the squeaking as well, unless your under the 1 year or 8k miles they will not replace pads or rotors for warranty. I was told my rotors need to be turned the pads are like new no wear at all. Of course now i'm WAY over the 8k miles. at 25k and see a groove in the front pass rotor.
